PICAXE Microcontrollers An Introduction by NearSys
What is a PICAXE? • A family of microcontrollers • Based on the PIC microcontroller • Internally programmed with an interpreter and communications program • Program stored in the PIC’s internal EEPROM • Interpreter operates on one instruction at a time
PICAXE Variations PICAXE-08M2 PICAXE-14M2 PICAXE-18M2 PICAXE-20M2 PICAXE-28X2 PICAXE-40X2
PICAXE Voltages Five volt chips, but can operate at 1.8 volts
